Angel's Call

The five-year-old has managed just two victories from 24 races — wins roughly one in every twelve starts — which tells you this is a horse that does the hard work but rarely gets its moment at the finish line. Both wins came when conditions aligned: the first at Wolverhampton in April 2024, then a second success at Ffos Las three months ago. That gap of more than two years between victories suggests something clicked recently, though the form around that last win has been uneven at best.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The recent runs are a mixed bag. Angel's Call has finished fifth, unplaced, sixth, third, first, and fourth across the last six races, which means it can still produce a placing but struggles to string performances together. Jockey Joshua Bryan has ridden the horse five times and won once — a 20% win rate with this rider, which is nearly three times better than the horse's overall record. That suggests they may work well as a pairing, though the small sample size means little. At distances between seven furlongs and a mile, Angel's Call finds its best form with one win from five races at those trips. Step up in class to the top-tier races, though, and it has zero wins from five attempts, which confirms this is a horse most comfortable in lower-grade company.

Trained by Nikki Evans at Pandy in Monmouths, Angel's Call is part of a small but active yard that has sent out just two winners so far this season. For a five-year-old with a fragile win record, the job now is simply to return to the track and rediscover that form from three months back. It raced just yesterday, so there is plenty of season left to add to that tally of two.
